Dongpo base camp

Mount Qomolangma is located on the border between China and Nepal in the middle section of the Himalayas. The base camp of Dongpo is in gamagou, Qudang Township, just south of Dingri County, Xigaze Prefecture, Tibet. It's not very difficult to get a free ride from Shigatse - Razi county to xindingri, but the chance of getting a free ride is quite low in the remaining 100 kilometers to the base camp. Therefore, it is suggested that it is the safest to charter a car from Lhasa or Shigatse.

Before leaving xindingri, go through the mountain entry procedures in the hotel at the intersection of xindingri. The cars entering the area need to pay the highway construction fee according to the number of wheels, 100 yuan per wheel. Walk 11 kilometers along the China Nepal highway, turn left at the sign of the Everest nature reserve, and bid farewell to the asphalt road.

Today, there are eight subordinate temples under the main temple, including a nunnery. As Rongbu temple is about 20 kilometers away from the top of Mount Everest, it has become the base camp for climbing Mount Everest from the north slope. Looking south from here, it's a great place to watch and photograph Mount Everest. There is a turning road around Rongbu temple. In front of the hall is a stage with carved beams and painted buildings. Every important festival, local people will come here to watch the Lama perform. The mani mound outside the gate is usually used by photographers as a foreground for shooting Mount Everest. In 1983, the temple underwent large-scale construction. The murals here are worth watching carefully.
